Breast Augmentation in Houston, TX

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size and shape. Plastic Surgery Specialists Pa offers comprehensive breast enhancement solutions tailored to individual patient needs.

Reasons for Breast Augmentation

• Enhance body contour for patients desiring increased breast size
• Restore breast volume lost after weight loss or pregnancy
• Achieve improved breast symmetry
• Improve breast shape and firmness
• Reconstruct breast appearance after medical procedures

Types of Breast Implants

Plastic Surgery Specialists Pa offers comprehensive implant options, including saline and silicone gel implants approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Implant selection depends on multiple factors such as body anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.

Implant Characteristics

• Texture: Smooth or textured shell
• Shape: Round or anatomical profile
• Projection: Low, medium, or high profile
• Size: Measured in cubic centimeters (ccs)

Surgical Considerations

The surgical procedure involves creating a pocket either behind breast tissue or beneath the pectoral muscle. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Typical surgery duration ranges from one to two hours.

Candidate Requirements

• Physically healthy individuals
• Realistic aesthetic expectations
• Fully developed breasts
• Ages 18 (saline) or 22 (silicone) for augmentation

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients can expect initial discomfort and swelling, with most returning to work within a few days. Follow-up appointments and adherence to post-surgical instructions are crucial for optimal results.

Important Considerations

• Implants are not lifetime devices
• Regular breast health examinations recommended
• Potential need for future replacement
